    Default advice needed- nude modeling

    i'm interested in doing some modeling for extra $$$$
    so far i've checked out "one model place" & "adultstaffing.com"
    through both sites it seems easy to get in conatct w/ photographers/companies for work, but i'm kind of lost on where to go from there. what do i need to make sure to ask, what info. do i need to get. so far, from searching threads, i see to ask about:
    references
    contract
    pay rate

    what else?? i'm worried about getting screwed over, so any general advice from anyone whos been involved in this type of modeling before would be helpful. thanks!!

    best place to go for advice is and the webmodels community has a lot of resources and advice. OMP is great for getting work. Youll need to do some tfp shoots first to build your portfolio. You can usually find photographers locally to shoot with who will trade timefor prints.

    Hi Mixie, good luck on your search. When you're looking up these photographers, look at the quality of their work. Ask them what type of film they use. Ask them if this is their career or just a hobby/something on the side. If that is the case, then AVOID them ok.

    Also, if in the event that you chose to work with a potential photographer, make sure you sign a RELEASE! You woudn't want to have your naked body all around cyberspace at your expence because you wanted some free pics would you....just talk it out with him.

    I tried looking online for examples of model releases but I was not able to at the moment..I will keep tryin for you.

    Find out what standard payscale is in your area, that way you can tell scammers to fuck off. Other than that, i can't think of much.

    All righty.

    I agree, is the most well-known place to post your portfolio and get work. It's also a good place to find photographers to work with. The downside is that you'll get 574 e-mails from guys who want to take pitchas of nekkid gurlz. Ask for references and samples.

    If you want to do modeling, especially nude modeling, you'll have no trouble finding a good photographer to work with you for free. However, if you work for free, they will generally want to use your photos for their own purposes (makes sense that they want a benefit out of the deal, right?). So have in writing what you want, and particularly when you expect to get your own pictures back. The photographer may want to limit your own use of them, since they're his product, too. Negotiation may be involved.

    Don't ask what kind of film they use. Many, many photographers, amateur and professional, shoot digital. In fact, you've got a higher likelihood of getting a CD quickly than developed pictures quickly. If you want to ask a test question, you might simply ask what camera(s) they use. Then look up the camera(s) on the Web to see if it's anything decent. But checking out their portfolio and their references are your best bet.

    While there's a lot of GWC's (Guys With Cameras) out there who just want to take pitchas of nekkid gurlz, there's also a fair number of accomplished hobbyists who are trying to either turn commercial or explore their artistic vision. They are usually wiling to pay a model for her time. Here again, get it in writing, what you're being paid and what the pictures are going to be used for. Make sure, if you're concerned about it, what the pictures can't be used for.

    Pictures are forever. You can sign a release with a photographer, and he might still violate it, and you might not find out about it. Or he could post a picture on the Web with your permission, and someone else can copy it and use it in ways that you wouldn't like. Don't go forward unless you have this risk in mind and it's acceptable to you.

    I have some model releases for different situations. PM me if you'd like one of them.

    Good luck.

    Ask to see samples of their work. If they don't have a site, they aren't professional or serious. Also you can tell what kind of work they do, what you'll be expected to do and what level of talent they are by seeing samples.

    And always talk on the phone with them before setting up a shoot. Don't arrange shoots soley on the internet. It's also a good idea to meet with the photographer before you work with them. Meet them to veiw their portfolio in a neutral place like a restaraunt or bar. Tale a freind with you too. If they are serious professionals, they wont have a problem with any of this. If they do have a problem with it, then you likely don't want to work for them.
